…
Over the next few days, Benny's health fully returned and Ethan stopped cutting, with Benny's help of course.
Everyone was in good spirits, except for Sarah, who kept trying to figure out the way to redeem herself and win back her human life.
Soon, Benny was allowed to return back to school, where things would soon spiral out of control.
…
While Benny was out of school, a new boy arrived at WhiteChapel High. This boy had soon made friends with David Stachowski, who was currently the most popular boy in school as well as still in companionship with Benny and Ethan.
When our two boys returned to school together, happily holding hands, no one paid attention to them, as always, until the new boy, Jason, had caught eyesight of them.
Benny and Ethan had a new bully on their hands.
…
Not a week had gone by that either Benny or Ethan had been pushed into a locker or shoved down with the occasional kick to the side as Jason walked pass them. He insisted on making their life a living hell, and they didn't know why.
David had tried to vouch for them, telling Jason that they were actually pretty cool. Jason's response?
"They deserve everything I give them."
Sadly, David's argument fell on deaf ears and Benny and Ethan continued to get bullied every day. They just let it happen. Both were grateful to be alive still, so they just did their best to ignore it.
…
One night, Sarah went out for a walk, trying to clear her thoughts and worries. She was worried about Benny and Ethan getting bullied constantly. She may not enjoy their relationship, but she definitely did not enjoy seeing them shoved into lockers every day. She was also worried about trying to find her way out of her vampire curse.
She stilled in her steps as an amazing smell hit her nose. Almost subconsciously, she heads towards the scent, the vampire part of her taking over. As she nears she hears quiet sobs. Looking closer, she sees a little girl, about seven or eight, tears streaming down her cheeks; but that's not what got Sarah's attention. Her eyes were drawn to the giant gash on the side of her arm, blood pouring down her arm and dripping onto the grass. Her babysitter skills kicked in and knocked the bloodthirsty vampire back in hiding.
"Oh my God what happened?" she asked, kneeling in front of the girl, who stopped crying and looked at her.
"It hurts," she said, voice small and scared, eyes wide.
"Can you tell me what happened to you?"
"I-I was riding my bike, and crashed. My arm hit this big rock and started bleeding. So I tried to walk to home, but I got lost, and it won't stop hurting or bleeding," she got out, tears starting again.
"Well, if I take you to the hospital, will you promise not to tell anyone how I got you there?" Sarah asked the girl, who nodded happily.
"Yes. I'm Jenna."
"I'm Sarah. Ready to go?" Jenna nodded and Sarah stood up, picking her up as well and took off flying towards the hospital.
Once they get there, Sarah quickly took her into the ER and got her looked at. Jenna didn't want Sarah to go, but she told her she would return soon.
…
"Ow," Benny said as the nurse poked and prodded his eye, which was currently sporting a black circle around it that was not natural.
"Here, take this cold compress and keep it on," the nurse said, pressing an ice pack into his hand. "It should help. And you are free to go."
"Thanks," he said, taking it and pressing it against his eye gently. He looked with his good eye at Ethan, who looked upset. "Stop thinking whatever you're thinking and let's go. My eye hurts." Ethan nodded and reached for Benny's free hand, who took it happily. "Love you."
"Love you more," Ethan replied, kissing him gently. Together, they walked out into the hallway to see Sarah pacing the hallway.
"Ethan! Benny!" she said when she saw them, hurrying to them.
"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked, raising his eyebrows at her. She grimaced and shook her head.
"I was out walking when I smelt the most amazing blood. I went to the scent and it was this little girl. I-I couldn't bring myself to hurt her, so I brought her to the hospital. Waiting on someone to get here for her. What happened to you?"
"That jerk Jason punched me because I punched him for pushing Ethan and calling him a fag."
"Aww defended your boyfriend. That was kinda sweet."
"Well we'll wait with you," Ethan said, and Sarah smiled.
"Thanks, I'd like that."
So, the three teens sat outside Jenna's room, waiting for a family member of hers to show up.
They didn't expect Jason to come running down the hallway, pale and looking extremely worried. He stopped at the front desk, frantic.
"My little sister! Jenna! She was brought in earlier! Where is she? Is she okay?"
"Sir, please calm down, she's in that room right there," the nurse said, pointing to the room, where Benny, Ethan, and Sarah were all sitting in front of. When Jason turned around and saw them, he sneered but went into his sister's room. Sarah followed him.
"They saved her," she said to his as he stood next to his sleeping sister's form.
"What?"
"Benny and Ethan. They brought her here. They rescued her," Sarah said, smiling at him. He looked shocked but smiled back.
"They did?" he asked, almost like he couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, they did. They're really great guys. You shouldn't be so hard on them just because they're … in love," she said, her tone hard to read. Jason looked at her again and nodded.
"You're right. There's nothing wrong with them."
"No, there's not. So, you should thank them for saving Jenna."
"I will." Jason and Sarah walked out of Jenna's room and to Benny and Ethan, who were standing there talking. "Hey," he said to them, making Benny pull Ethan behind him a bit. "I wanted to thank you for rescuing Jenna and bringing her here. And apologize for that black eye I gave you." The boys exchanged a look before Sarah spoke.
"Guys, don't be modest. You saved her life."
"Uh.. yeah, yeah we did," Ethan said, shooting Sarah a look to which she shook her head slightly.
"Well thank you. My little sister means everything to me, so it also means a lot that you saved her. I'm sorry for how I've treated you both. You didn't deserve it."
"It's fine. We're used to it." Sarah walked away then, and back to Jenna's room, where the little girl was awake and smiling at her.
"Why did you tell him that they saved me?" She asked, but with a smile on her face. Sarah slightly smiled back at the young girl.
"I have my reasons. Will you tell him that they saved you?"
"Yes. And I won't tell anyone that you can fly either!" she whispered happily, to which Sarah fully smiled.
"Thank you."
Jason walked in then, a nurse behind him with discharge papers. Soon, Jenna and Jason were gone, and Ethan, Benny, and Sarah were heading home in silence.
…
When Sarah got home, she was extremely tired, which didn't happen often. So, changing into some comfy pajamas, she lied down on her un-used bed and closed her eyes, drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
…
Benny stayed the night at Ethan's house that night, so the two boys were curled up together, arms wrapped around each other.
"Does your eye still hurt?" Ethan asked, fingers ghosting over the dark ring.
"A little, but nothing to worry about."
"I'm gonna worry."
"Don't. I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"As sure as I am that I love you," Benny said cheekily, kissing Ethan, who kissed back.
"I love you too you big cornball."
"That's what you love about me." With that, the two boys fell asleep, slight smiles on their faces and in each others arms.
…
The next morning, Sarah woke up, feeling sore and exhausted. Opening her tired eyes, she yawned and looked around before standing up and shuffling to the bathroom. Before she could make it, she passed her mirror and stopped.
Her reflection was back.
She touched the mirror, her mouth agape and eyes wide. Placing her hand over her chest, she could feel her steady heartbeat.
She was human again.
…
Epilogue…
A few days later found the newly human Sarah along with a happily holding hands Benny and Ethan heading into the school building.
"How's it feel being human again?" Ethan asked Sarah, who smiled brightly.
"Amazing! I mean, yeah I kinda miss the super speed and strength, but now I can grow up, get married! Everything I wanted."
"We're happy for you," Benny told her with a nod. She smiled again and nodded back.
"And I'm happy for the both of you."
"Looks like things have calmed down again," Ethan said, to which both Sarah and Benny nodded this time.
…
The end! Roll credits!
Not sure how the ending turned out, but I hope ya'll liked it.
If not, well I'm sorry. I tried.
Thanks for reading it all the way through though :)
